 * Hello,
 * When i make a child theme for this theme the website is a chaos.
 * [See here](http://test.vdwaarsenburg.nl)
 * I put this code in the style.css
 *     ```
       /*
       Theme Name: pinboard child
       Description: Child theme for Pinboar theme
       Author: manfred vd Waarsenburg
       Template: pinboard
       */
       @import url("http://test.vdwaarsenburg.nl/wp-content/themes/pinboard/style.css");
       ```
   
 * Must i do some other things also to make this work.
 * Grtz Manfred

 * This line should be
 *     ```
       @import url("../pinboard/style.css");
       ```
   
 * Afte you change it, switch out of that theme and back again.
